Water appears to come through the disposer body

A wet housing needs the source distinguished from water tracking down from above. A body leak can raise a different repair-or-replacement question from a loose waste connection.

Locate the first wet patch

Use observations already made and state whether the top mounting stayed dry. Keep water away from electrical connections and stop use where leakage continues.

Do not promise a reseal

An engineer needs to inspect the model and condition before advising whether a serviceable connection or the unit itself is involved. A photograph cannot establish internal damage or a guaranteed repair.

A useful distinction

Visible corrosion or physical damage is relevant but should be photographed without cleaning it away first. A tidy promotional image is separate from service evidence and should never conceal the condition being assessed.
